5. (a) If the principal executive officer of
a political subdivision issues a local travel advisory as part of an
emergency declaration under section 29 of this chapter, the principal
executive officer shall designate the travel advisory as falling into one
(1) of the following categories:
(1) "Advisory", the lowest level of local travel advisory, means
that routine travel or activities may be restricted in areas because
of a hazardous situation, and individuals should use caution or
avoid those areas.
(2) "Watch" means that conditions are threatening to the safety of
the public. During a "watch" local travel advisory, only essential
travel, such as to and from work or in emergency situations, is
recommended, and emergency action plans should be
implemented by businesses, schools, government agencies, and
other organizations.
(3) "Warning", the highest level of local travel advisory, means
that travel may be restricted to emergency management workers
only. During a "warning" local travel advisory, individuals are
directed to:
(A) refrain from all travel;
(B) comply with necessary emergency measures;
(C) cooperate with public officials and disaster services forces
in executing emergency operations plans; and
(D) obey and comply with the lawful directions of properly
identified officers.
Further and more specific restrictions, including parking
restrictions, may be included in a "warning" local travel advisory.
(b) If the emergency management agency director or the principal
executive officer of a political subdivision determines that conditions
within the political subdivision have created the need for travel
advisory restrictions without a local disaster emergency declaration
under section 29 of this chapter, the emergency management agency
director or the principal executive officer may issue an "advisory" or a
"watch" level travel advisory.
(c) A "warning" level travel advisory may be issued only after a
local disaster emergency is declared under section 29 of this chapter.
(d) An advisory issued under this section is subject to sections 12.5
and 12.7 of this chapter.
